The text analyses system of practical teaching of movie language by the means of transformation of scenic art into the art of motion picture. It designates main differences between the recording of scenic art and active creation of dance film. If a student is delimited in the creation of school work, thus he does not use speech, but dance movements recorded by the elements of film language, it is possible for him to learn new forms of expression by the means of motion picture and sound.
